April 11th, 2010. Texas & Oklahoma- M35A2 + M105A2. Texas- S404.114 Unimog Likely all of the above are gonna get to see more of the US on the next job posting or permanent remove....!aua Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:)

April 11th, 2010. 52D: Likely your 60KW unit is running at about 20% load or less, and the units are designed to run 80-85% loaded all the time. You're gonna have to turn on every heater or ac unit in the house, and almost all the lights, stoves and whatever...

April 11th, 2010. Akicita: [thumbzup] on your new truck, hope you enjoy it a long time. Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:D

April 11th, 2010. Add the Brown! then it will match the motive power, and it isn't as painfull as doing the 4 color MERDC scheme (trust me... My M105A2 in the icon has the 4 color scheme that it went to Iraq with).... Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:beer:

April 11th, 2010. I've stayed out of this thread pretty much.... If you can't drive a manual transmission that sometimes borders on ideosyncratic, the A-3 is the way to go. However, my esteemed friend up above here, Bulldog Mack 13, has owned both classes of trucks, A-2 and A-3, so he has a...

April 10th, 2010. Hardbird: Like it or not, these vehicles were Utility Trucks, meant to be loaded. The suspensions is set up to work under rated load. You could try popacorns solution and end up with a historically compromised vehicle, or you could just rotate the tires...

April 10th, 2010. WOW!!! Gives a new meaning to a headache!!! I can safely say that it nust have been one heck of a load in that trailer to bend the rockwell housing and all....! They used to require that when we went into a steel mill building, that as railroaders we wore hard hats...

April 09th, 2010. Thank you, Herr Dose, for the exquisite pictures of your M715 and trailer, and the other various MV's in Europe. Have you had any problems with the water pump and the alternator on the 715? We had one in the Civil Defense back in the 1970's, and the front water pump bearings...

April 9th, 2010. I may get into deep do-do with this one, but as I don't own the critter nor have any interest in the critter.... here goes! On EBAY under military vehicles you will find one really aesthectically challenged Swedish Army 1950's Volvo Radio Car. From the front end it looks like...

April 9th, 2010. FMVSS does NOT apply to vehicles of any type built before the inception date (1968?) and some vehicles built to government specifications after that are exempted. My 1961 M422A1 Mighty Mite had the one cat's eye stoplight/taillight on the left rear, blackouts on the right...

April 6th, 2010. Mr Wymore: What you have said about tires does have some merit, but I have seen rock runners and desert rats do things to tires that they were not designed to do from day one. I have had 35 and 40 year old military tires hold up untill they were physically worn out in...

April 6th, 2010. 01 Dakota440: I've had some really superior Fords (1927 T, 1951 F6 Dump, 1989 F250 4x4 military experimental prototype with 1-1/2 ton axles from the factory that matched nothing in Ford's supply system), but that year grille on an M35 looses some of the aesthetics that the...

April 6th, 2010. math1960: Good luck with the Dodge M880.... I did not like that model when they were new, and I doubt if you will find one running all that well this many years later. I've had some good GM's, some poor GM's (a 1985 S-10 that needed overhauled at 110,000 and...

April 5th, 2010. FDNY129: That must have been a heck of a wind and rainstorm to cause the flapper valve to malfunction to that degree! I have had 70-80 mile an hour winds and rains around here and the flapper on my deuce has never yet failed to keep the water out. The original muffler rusted...

April 3rd, 2010. I have, I believe, 4 or 6 bow corners for a stock M35A2 if anyone's looking for some. NB: Mine are stock M35A2 corners, but if you check the TM-10 on the M35A2 series trucks, you will find that dropside corners have a latch on the bows, apparently to make them easier to...

April 2nd, 2010. IRV: I might suggest towing the M151 on a front wheel dolly or better a trailer, as the independent suspension used on these critters would make me think that they would not behave being towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. TM9-2320-218-10, Pg.2-33 indicates that they can...

April 2nd, 2010. Summit Racing should have it, and they are available in 24VDC (The coil is the primary difference), as I converted a 6 cylinder Mercedes Benz M180 gas engine (inline 6) to the Pertronix system and I have had no reason to complain. Good luck...

Trailer Weights/Brakes April 1st, 2010. Please note that the corrected highway weight above for the M105A2's payload was 4500 LBS, the error was mine. I am looking for a blank orginal M105A2 data plate with the "Highway" column, as my replacement plate is Revision 7 and doesn't have that...

MArch 30th, 2010. Good luck on the tire fix, Jay. I'd say silicone is not an approved replacement for the specified "O" ring, some motor pool guy was being a rocket scientist....! I had a USMC M422A1 Mighty Mite that some Marine Corps brainiac figured if you didn't have the 1/2" hose clamps...

March 30th, 2010 WOW!!! Imagine the steering axle weight reduction on that four door Jeep in drgregs post...... Put that bad boy on a rain or snow slicked road and the pucker factor would be at least to the tenth power....!!!:razz: Nature abhors a vacuum, so image where those seat covers are...
